Version Discrepancy

[Josef Hofleitner]

ALCON,

I just purchased and installed both SH4 and the U-Boat Missions via Steam. I attempted to play with both the RSRD and RFB mods, but got missing file errors before I could access the main menu. I discovered another thread which will help me solve that issue.

However, I am puzzled as to which version I should have since I just purchased the game today. I have read that the U-Boat expansion brings the game to 1.5, but when I initiate the game w/o the mods, clicking on either the base game or the expansion shortcut, it brings me to the U-Boat Missions loading screen. Then, when the main menu comes up, it says v 1.3 at the bottom. Das hat mich sehr verwirrt!

And on top of that, it gives me no option to select the U-Boat missions!

I would greatly appreciate any help on this.

V/R,

JH

you need to install the game first then install the v1.5 ad-on then it should read v1.5 in the options screen

if not then you have issues with your download of the ad-on

I reinstalled both. I don't know why, but everything works now. I had installed everything in order before, so it doesn't make much sense to me.

Now, just need to get the mods working. Since you are the one who came up with the solution for the "missing files" problem, I might as well ask you since you are here. For the patches for both RSRD and RFB, are those supposed to be enabled through JSGME? And what about all of the "*may* have adverse effect" messages? Just click yes on all of them?

The answer is yes. You will get warnings as some of the same files are involved.

This is the proper order to enable the mods:

RFB 2.0
RFB 2.0 patch
RSRDC_RFB_v575
RSRDC patch

Make sure that you have the correct version of RSRDC. If you want to disable these mods, make sure you do so in reverse order; otherwise you may experience undesirable results.

WELCOME ABOARD! :sunny:
II don't know why, but everything works now.

I wish I had a dollar for every time I've said that over the years. It's the old "Just smack it!" syndrome. You don't know why it didn't before, and you don't know why it does now, but you count your blessings and hope it doesn't happen again. :yep:

Welcome aboard (airdale?)! We call that "mechanical agitation" now Steve.:up:

If you get an itch to play the German side I would highly recommend these mods.

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
OpsMonsun_V705
OMv705_to_V720
OMv720_Patch5
OMEGU_v300
OMEGU_v300_Patch7
OM_Harder_Escort_L2
UBM Missions
Popular German Music From The 30´s
OM_Pac_Env
#1 Real Environment mod install

Just make sure those first 5 mods are in this exact order.

Thank you all. The mods are all in working order and the problem has been solved.
